TI begins selling National portfolio
Texas Instruments' existing distributors have begun integrating National Semiconductor products onto their line cards. The newly combined portfolio is now said to consist of almost 45,000 analogue products.
The move follows TI's $6.5billion acquisition over National, which was announced in April this year and confirmed in September.
The reason behind the takeover, according to TI's chairman Rich Templeton (pictured), was to raise TI's profile in the growing market for analogue circuits and provide customers with a portfolio of 'unmatched' depth and breadth.
TI claims the combined portfolio now delivers more design and development opportunities, more support and more manufacturing capacity to its customers.
